Minimum service in this other Group E meeting between Namibia and Mali who leave with a goalless draw in San Pedro. A draw which suits both teams, since both qualify for the rest of the CAN.
Mali finishes at the top of the group with 5 points, while Namibia finishes in third position with 4 points, but is one of the best thirds, therefore also qualified for the round of 16.

In the match, Mali rather dominated the debates, and had much more possession than Namibia, but were not sharp enough to succeed in unlocking the score, with only two shots on target in the game, far too few to make a difference.
It is not more glorious on the Namibian side, since only one shot on target is to the credit of the selection, in a game where they did not really impose their game.

A meeting without incident and without panache
The first thrill, however, comes from the Brave Warriors side, with Prins Tjiueza who asks for the ball in the area and follows up with a point-blank shot, which unfortunately crashes into the right post of the goal (16th).

Ibrahim Sissoko had the opportunity in the second period to give the Eagles the advantage, but he was unable to catch a ball in the area, which was too powerful (72nd).

A new possibility in the 85th minute did not work out for Mali on a free kick from Amadou Dante, but it ultimately resulted in a corner.
A meeting that was far too meager offensively, but without any major impact since the two nations will see the round of 16 of the competition, even if they will have to raise their voice for the next match, because obviously, the slightest error can be synonymous with a return home .
